55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 I'm sorry, this is driving me nuts.... When saying something along the lines of "they're going to be better" it is short for they are it is - THEY'RE - like "they're going to be better" / not THERE, as in "hey look over THERE" I see that on this board all the time and I saw it in this thread... sorry for snapping, that's probably my biggest grammar annoyance Their go wing too bee in the playoffs. (I agree on the whole their/there/they're thing. Use the word you mean, not one that sounds like it. We're not speaking here; we're reading. There's a difference when it's in print.) I don't think they'll make it past the first or second round. They have improved more than the other teams that are at the bottom of the East. They just haven't improved past the teams that are at the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I've seen people write "one" instead of "won" on this board. As in "we one a lot of games this year". I hope that's some kind of joke that I don't get.

It should be, "I'm sorry. This is driving me nuts." OR "I'm sorry, but this is driving me nuts." Since we are on the subject... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since we are on the subject... nah, it's either "I'm sorry but this is driving me nuts" or "I'm sorry, this is driving me nuts". Generally you don't want to use "but" after a ",".

Since we are on the subject... There is a difference between using PERFECT grammar and using the WRONG WORD. People normally type the way they talk, so creating sentences that are perfectly grammatically correct isn't entirely a top priority.
